It's unfortunate we don't even seem to try. I'll be the first to
admit, I work too much and have to much other **** to deal with to go
around protesting against Illegal Immigration, hence my previous
point.

I'll admit due to having lived in Randy "Duke" ****ingham's district
for several election cycles I was an Other/Democrat voter (well, that
and Bush being a complete and total assclown), but Ms Feinstein just
screwed herself with her recent statements as far as I'm concerned.

There's a lot of ways to solve this. As someone who loves Mexico for
it's beauty, it's residents, and it's overall attitudes I'd prefer to
see Mexico succeed than have its population move here. As an
American, I'm sick of them flooding our job markets and reducing the
pay levels of my friends. Fortunately, few illegal immigrants have
the knowledge of computers and their networks I do, yet.

The best way in my opinion is to allow more immigration, and to help
Mexico in ways that directly benefit us also. Completion of more of
the border toll roads in Mexico could move traffic off the US
Interstates with less cost to us than building our own freeways. Find
creative ways to improve education in Mexico. Then if they want to
leave to join the USA, at least they have more training.

More power and water connections could help provide more jobs in their
country in addition to new roadways connecting us. They don't need to
compete with American jobs, we can give them jobs that we're currently
giving the Chinese, Koreans, Malasians, Indians, and other Asian
countries already.

It seems that if more Americans would contribute to Mexico (through
forreign aid, charities, visiting as a tourist or even just
encouraging our officials to fight corruption locally & abroad)
instead of condemning it we could get some progress. Or if some of
these Mexicans willing to march in our streets would march on Avenida
de Revolucion we might see some progress for both sides of the border.

Heck, one of my favourite places on Earth for a vacation is Ensenada,
BC. It's really an amazing country / region/ city. (All of the
above, in my opinion.)

As it stands, Mexico is a nice place to visit but I'd be terrified to
live there. I understand why so many people want out, but until they
do so through the proper channels, I could care less about anything
other than kicking them out of the US along with illegals from South
America, Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa, or even Antarctica. Should we
maybe change some things about importing workers? IMO, sure. Should
we just say, 'you're all forgiven?' Hell no.

When will the Republican party return to people like me? Or hell, the
Democrats even? C'mon Libertarians, take one over for me!
